Racial discrimination of North-East youths in the country never ends -MSAD

Imphal, Feb 27: The Manipur Students’ Association Delhi has strongly condemned over continuous racial discrimination committed towards the NE students at various part of mainland India.
In a statement the Association said that one Thanmayon RS, student of Ambedkar University was allegedly abused and threatened by one Station House Officer at Jamui District of Bihar.
As per statement of Thanmayon RS, the incident happen on October 16, 2016 at around 9pm when he was with approximately 150 women, children and other villagers at Chakai police station to file a complain against the illegal work going on in Dulampur Panchayat of Bihar.
There, the Station House Officer of Chakai started interrogating him just because of his looks, the statement added. It further stated that the SHO mentioned in the beginning said that he look different and thus, interrogation is necessary. The SHO abuses him and threatens the villagers. And then he tried to explain the whole thing in English as his Hindi was not that good but the SHO could not understand and later, when one of his friend Sanjeev Kumar tried to explain it in Hindi, the SHO didn’t allow him to utter a word.
Terming this as a clear example of racial discrimination the mSAD said that instead of listening, the SHO started abusing and threatened to put behind the jail. The policemen there pulled both of them behind the bar. When they became aggressive to defend themselves, the SHO repeatedly said that he is questioning because he looks different, the statement added.
The incident happen when Thanmayon RS went to Gobindpur village in Nawadih Panchayat, Chakai Block, Jamui district, of Bihar as part of his course for his village immersion.
While condemning the act of racial discrimination on looks, race and caste, MSAD urged the concerned authority and Bihar government to take up strong action to whoever guilty involved in the incident.
